yeah i know where it runs RV i think they probably wanted to do what you said, ok so i'll tell them to simply replace the ruptured section for me and if they say no then.... well.... i'll deal with no power steering cos i ain't paying that much!

nebuchmeizzer: i've read the entire ECU can just go "kerplunk" if they haven't been looked after too well and high mileage, n i doubt you'd really be too inclined to find yourself stranded on the side of the road somewhere with a car that's gonna cost thousands to fix, also, as far as "cosmetic" electrics go you have proto-type 80's technology and you KNOW nothing good EVER came out of the 80's technology wise...

IE: hicas, automatic lights that turn on for you, power windows, central locking, etc etc etc... not trying to scare you or anything but it's best to look at things realistically other than optimistically =)

only problem i've had with my one is the power steering hose, other than that GREAT car, ABLSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, if you have the money though (making the assumtion you're a mechanic) i would buy a virgin stock one and build it up from there that way you don't have to maintain + mod, knaww meeen?

Ya mechanical and electronic stuff i can fix, electronics is a bitch but i can fix it eventually haha. Modding is all good to, the car in my sig down there was 90% built by me and 10% by my dad.

I might be holding off on the ceffie for a bit now, the old gazelle had a good showing at State Drift last weekend so i might do a little more playing with the rear suspension and see what it can do before i upgrade, that is unless someone comes along and offers good cash for the old girl but that's unlikely.

The gazelle stands out alot at meets which is good :P

Is the power steering interchangeable with other Nissans?  

R32? S13?

I mean the whole lot - pump, column, everything..

i would say similiar if not the same to an s13 ......? im not fully sure though

but i recently did the steering wheel and the boss kit for the r32 did not hook up proprly ...but the jap s13 one did ...

replaced my old man's ceffy's steering wheel with an R32 steering wheel. works fine. good thing we don't have HICAS in the ceffy, which is what you'd want in a drift car anywyas...

The only problems I've had with mine was a crack in the fan (so the fan got replaced) and holes in the exhaust (so the exhaust got replaced). There was a minor oil leak somewhere due to bad washers, which were replaced and all is good now.

is this cefiro boss kit?

matches up with S13?

the r32 one fits the spline but it had nothing to turn off the indicators or activate the horn ....the kit for the australian nissan didint fit cause the spline is too large .

i finally got one which was made in italy for it, i think for the s13 but i could be wrong ....but it fit and everything hooks up fine indicators turn off and horn works i had to add a little bit of wire for the horn but ohwell it works

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
